Editorial Reviews

The authors of Fabric-by-Fabric One-Yard Wonders return with another full bounty of projects that require surprisingly little material—and time. Patricia Hoskins and Rebecca Yaker's Little One-Yard Wonders features 101 projects for babies and kids, each of them presented with clear step-by-step instructions and useful, inviting photographs. These child-pleasers include tops and toys; pillows, mats, and bath towels. With its handy spiral-binding, this book offers hours and hours of rewarding fun for crafty moms and dads. Editor's recommendation.

05/05/2014
Yaker and Hoskins add another volume to their series of bestsellers, all of which use one yard of fabric as a base. In this book, their focus is on patterns for babies and kids, a savvy choice since lots of parents and grandparents are on the lookout for cute new designs to sew for their little ones. From a Safari Sleep Sack to hold baby at night to a Pajama Monster to hold PJs during the day, the 101 patterns will give every sewist a design he or she must try. The authors have organized their patterns into sections based on type, so Home and Kitchen gets a section, as do Tops, Accessories, and half a dozen other categories. This is workable, but leaves the reader with no way to sort patterns by skill level, which could be frustrating: a complex Western shirt is right next to a supremely simple Long Beach Tee. So the book feels a little jumbled, and the design of each page, determined to pack in the materials needed, the cutting layout, instructions for each project, along with diagrams, doesn’t help. Still, there’s a lot for the reader who can take the time to sort through it all. Full-color photos. (June)
